We connected up the final two wires on the new batteries this morning and then went out for a test with two friends Steve and David. Fantastic. That's all I can say. We motored in and out of the marina. Motored for about half an hour, motor sailed for two hours and the battery indicator showed we had only used 10% of the capacity!
Yesterday I finished some of the software for the pump system so after lunch we fitted the pump control system... which also worked.
In about a weeks time we will be travelling to France to deliver a new catamaran for a friend and picking up the contactors and extra components to finish the battery installation. Then we sail... through the summer!
